Article Processing Charges (APCs) are significant charges for publishing Open Access (OA), and have no accepted standards for authors to source the funds or negotiate the charges. While there is a growing body of literature exploring academic authors’ perceptions of OA publishing, there is little data on how authors pay for APCs. The aim of this study was to examine how authors prepare for and fund APCs, as well as their perceptions of these charges. In early 2021 the authors deployed a survey to Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai faculty members via email. The survey was completed by 310 faculty, representing 10.6% of the active researcher population. Our findings show that about 50% of respondents include anticipated APC costs in grant applications, and that 16% of faculty will pay APCs using personal funds. Questions evaluating perception of APCs show that while the majority of respondents support the concept of Open Access, most believe that charges are too high and should not fall on authors.

教师对开放获取文章的文章处理费的态度

文章处理费 (APC) 是出版开放获取 (OA) 的重要费用,并且对于作者来源资金或协商费用没有公认的标准。虽然有越来越多的文献探讨学术作者对 OA 出版的看法,但关于作者如何为 APC 付费的数据很少。本研究的目的是检查作者如何准备和资助 APC,以及他们对这些费用的看法。2021 年初,作者通过电子邮件向西奈山伊坎医学院的教职员工进行了一项调查。该调查由 310 名教职员工完成,占活跃研究人员的 10.6%。我们的调查结果表明,大约 50% 的受访者在拨款申请中包括了预期的 APC 成本,并且 16% 的教职员工将使用个人资金支付 APC。
